Rear Wiper for 1998 V90

Anyone know the right replacement wiper blade for the rear wagon wiper?

I'm not sure if it's an "unusual" size.

TIA, Harry

V90 - 1998 Normal Engine Temperature?

My Volvo V90 was setting off a code for cooling system.

I replaced the thermostat (broken) and, with the new thermostat installed, the Temp gauge sits on, or slightly above the 1/2 point on the gauge after the car warms up.

Is this the normal temp range or am I running hot? Engine is straight 6 ...

FCPGroton has a "jumper" fix for correcting a common dashboard problem that causes the temp gauge to go kafluey.

Costs about 15 bucks.

No Mas!, NO MAS!

Boneyard bound.... The violent, unsolved "Bucking" has caused a Tranny Leak. No Mas!

Oh, and I just picked up a sweet 98 V90.

Thanks to all who tried to help, my guess it's now a computer problem.

I've listed it on Craig's list (Rhode Island) as a "parts car". If anyone's ...

87 240 - SAVE me from the Boneyard!

Update, on my "unsolvabe" problem of violent "bucking" when running with Hot engine.

Replaced the Temp Sensor, tightened manifold, repaired 2 small air leaks found BEFORE the AMM with a propane test, and thoroughly cleaned throttle.

Tested it out and everything seemed OK.

Took a 100 mi. trip fro ...

DEFINATELY Temperature driven problem. We're going to test w/ propane for leaks and the manifold gasket this week.

Temp Sensor IS my guess.

Plugs
Wires
Rotor
AAM
Fuel Filter
CAT
25 amp engine fuse
In-tank Fuel Pump
Fuel Pump
Fuel Sensor(the module above the passenger side leg space.)

Expensive ...

No, I'm not blowing any smoke. Seems like typical AMM symptoms.

Having put so much into it now, I'm very hesitant to keep replacing things at random, without some confidence that we know what's causing the "bucking".

My AMM replacement was a used one, and I'm thinking it may be "bad" since the ...

87 DL- Boneyard time? ( hesitation, bucking, skipping)

Findings : SSDD

Blasted cleaners through engine, no improvement. Good mechanic, but unable to locate problem.

87 dl skips, bucks and chokes off a dead stop AND while driving with soft pedal pressure. If I floor it it accelerates normally, but returns to skipping etc. when I let up on the gas pedal ...

Accordion hose OK.

I'm getting a different set of eyeballs on it tomorrow. Will post the findings.
